Three Legged Stool--Part Six of Six

In the church-at Bethlehem-we have the opportunity to give a weekly offering. We have the challenge to give to an occasional capital campaign, like Share the Spirit. And we have the privilege to leave a legacy by giving to the Bethlehem Foundation. Any of these three "legs" of giving would be weaker without the other two.

Thank you for your commitment to the annual budget! Thank you for your pledge to the Share the Spirit three year campaign! To those who have given/do give to the Bethlehem Foundation ... thank you! Thank you for considering a gift to the Bethlehem Foundation!

While we may be on uneven, shifting ground due to life circumstances and economic conditions, in order to keep the seat of our giving stool level we must make adjustments to ensure the proper balance. God will give us the guidance as to what is appropriate.

If you have questions, please contact a board member: Bill Fredell, Paul Hauge, Kathleen Hokemeir-Seim, Roy LaFayette, Naomi Staruch, Paul Steen, Dorothea Tenney or Pastor Chris Nelson.

You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth... Deuteronomy 8:17 & 18

I pray that I will never lose sight of this truth, Lord. All I have comes from You. Help me to hold all I have very lightly and may I always be ready to pass it along at Your request. Amen.
